When an alcoholic or drug addict decides to spend his/her entire paycheck on his/her vice of choice and then go on a bender. This person parties or isolates until all the booze or drugs are done only to wake up and realize that the rent, bills, food budget, and utilities weren't paid and then faced with an eviction notice, search warren, or an ambulance ride to the hospital . Even worse they are killed by their binging or by outside circumstances.
This term comes from Green Day's song "Deadbeat Holiday" in their "Warning" album released in 2000.
"Hey man, what happened to Billy? I haven't seen him in over a week."
"Yeah, that piece of trash is taking a deadbeat holiday... I hope he makes it out of this one alive."
Green Day:
"Wake up, the house is on fire
and the cat's caught in the dryer
philosophy's a liar
when your home is your headstone"

After what feels like 1200 weeks in a hellish, federal prison like school, you finally have completed your examinations and it is time for the holidays. All students enjoy it; time to play games, have fun with friends and family.
But the demonic teachers say no. They want you to so-called meaningfully spend your holidays, so they obviously give a ton of this modern torture called homework.
There can be many types, but most come in essay, or Algebra form. It is most commonly used by teachers to make students spend less time on their electronics, but most overlook the side effects.
Side effects are:
Stress
Fatigue
(Severe cases) Depression
Also, most of the time, this is done on the last day of holiday at 2.15 am in the morning, or not done at all. If a student does the latter, the teacher will likely collect it. If the students all do the work, the teacher likely would not.
Student 1: Hey, student 2? Why are you literally online at 3 am?
Student 2: Doing holiday homework.
Student 1: Ah, same.
The next day
Teacher: alright Iโm not collecting the homework today
The students:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
A feeling of sadness once all of the hoopla from the holidays are over
Anne: How are you doing, Paula?
Paula: I'm alright. I'm just having some holiday withdrawals. :/
When someone only attends church services during the holidays but not during the other days that church gatherings take place. Instead they "feel" the spirit only around times where everyone will see them at church which just happens to be at the Holidays or they feel they can't sufficiently celebrate the holidays without going to church and paying their dues.
~ A negative connotation ~
I swear I haven't seen the Jones at Church all year...It's Christmas eve and now they decide to show up...I swear there such "holiday christians"

I always look forward to the LAN Holiday season. It's the only time of year that I get to gather with my nerd friends in my parents' cold basement for Starcraft and get pissed off to no end because no one can seem to set up the network. We never learn from the year before.
